The formula of the quadratic function passing through the points (-2,0), (8,0) and (2, -24) is f(x) = x² - 6x - 16

How to create the formula?

The points are given as:

(-2,0) , (8,0) and (2, -24)

The points (-2,0) and (8,0) are the zeros of the function.

So, we have:

f(x) = a(x + 2)(x -8)

Substitute (2, -24) in the above equation

-24 = a(2 + 2)(2 -8)

Evaluate the sum and the difference

-24 = a(4)(-6)

Divide both sides by -24

a = 1

Substitute a = 1 in f(x) = a(x + 2)(x -8)

f(x) = (x + 2)(x -8)

Expand

f(x) = x² + 2x - 8x - 16

Evaluate the like terms

f(x) = x² - 6x - 16

Hence, the formula of the quadratic function is f(x) = x² - 6x - 16
